not a maemo guy at all. but i have had the issue you talk about. i would say backup your contacts and do 2 of three either 1.restart phone 2. use nokia software update or 3. flash the phone. dont update when the icon appears when you have the extras-devel repository enabled. people might disagree but i was mad when the first update came out and i couldnt do it. that is how i resolved my issue. i use win7 64bit. so i used the livecd and flashed from linux. takes about ten minutes. only two to flash. hope i helped. i am the noob guy.
